How to Renew Your Car Registration Without the Hassle


After buying a brand new car, its initial registration is usually effective for three years. This is particularly true here in the Philippines. When the first three years of the car registration expires, the owner would have to renew the registration with the Land Transportation Office (LTO) on yearly basis. If you have ever experienced dealing with government agencies in this country, you know that it can take forever to complete any important transaction. It will usually cost someone his entire day just to have a car renewal registration completed. If only time is not limited and we all have it in abundance, we would never care to learn of ways to expedite as much as we can these time-consuming but necessary transactions with government agencies.

I recently had to renew my car registration when the car turned three years old from the time I bought it in 2008. Before I went to the LTO, I made some research over the internet on the requirements and procedures to go through to renew my registration. The LTO official website details the steps to take, the forms to be filled-up and the necessary supporting documents needed. As it turned out, a Compulsory Third-Party Liability (CTPL) insurance is required before the agency will approve of the renewal. This insurance is supposed to compensate the family of any person who will become a casualty of a vehicular accident. Also needed is an inspection report which details the specifics of the vehicle and the corresponding emission test done to check if the smoke coming from the tail pipe is within the acceptable limits set by the government. These requirements seem easy enough to accomplish but the problem comes with the queuing of people going for renewal making this process a very time-consuming activity.
